I cannot function with this headache. It’s insane.
When Dr Koopersmith prescribed the Letrozole (Femara) for me, she warned that some women experience a slight headache.
This isn’t slight. This is horrible. Worst part about it – NSAIDs can interfere with follicle growth, so the only thing I can take is Tylenol. Ha.
Which is like slicing off your arm and putting a Band-Aid on the bloody stump.
I closed myself up in my office today, turned out all the lights, switched off my computers, and laid down on my couch for an hour. This did absolutely nothing but waste a perfectly good lunch hour. I’ve taken to just sitting with my head in my hands and trying not to breathe too heavily. Seriously, even breathing hurts. I wish I were exaggerating.
I know that this will all be worth it if I get pregnant, but this is the worst pain I’ve been experienced in a long time. I had meningitis in high school, and that headache was b-a-d. My doctor suggested putting me in the hospital on morphine but my parents couldn’t afford it, so I stayed home from school several days with an ice pack and a ton of Darvocet (which had little to no effect).
This headache is worse. Thank God I’m only on these pills for 5 days.
